Wild World
Embracing Change in a Wild World
Lyrics
Nothing stays the same, change is a thing we should embrace
Change is a natural and positive aspect of life that should be accepted.
I hear you've been running your mouth all over town
Rumors or negative talk about the speaker have been circulating in the community.
You don't like the way I sing, you don't like my sound
Someone criticizes the speaker's singing style and overall musical direction.
You said you loved all my old stuff, but this new stuff's just been bringing you down
Despite claiming to love the speaker's older work, the person dislikes the new material.
I'd say I'm sorry but you know that honesty
The speaker expresses regret but values honesty over apologies.
Always has and will be my only policy
The speaker emphasizes a consistent commitment to honesty.
So I'm sorry that your hurt cause I found my worth
The speaker acknowledges another person's hurt but asserts their own self-worth.
But pretty soon you'll learn not to fuck with me
A warning not to underestimate or challenge the speaker.
I like to keep an open mind, and an open heart
The speaker prefers to approach life with an open mind and heart.
And it's always been that way from the start
The openness to new experiences has been a consistent trait from the beginning.
Why knock it when you haven't even tried it yet?
Encouragement to refrain from criticizing something without trying it first.
You've been changing, too
Acknowledgment that the other person has also undergone changes.
Don't deny it, cause
An assertion that change is inevitable.
Nothing stays the same, change is a thing we should embrace
Reiteration that change should be embraced as a positive force.
A change is coming for you, I can see it on your face
A prediction that a significant change is imminent for the other person.
It's so strange, this wild world that we live in
Reflection on the strange nature of the unpredictable world we live in.
Don't fight change, cause you know that you'll never win
Advice not to resist change because it's an unwinnable battle.
Nothing stays the same, change is a thing we should embrace
Reiteration that change is a positive and necessary aspect of life.
I hear that you're still mad about the things I said
Reference to lingering resentment about past conflicts.
When you dragged me through the dirt and put my name to shame
Mention of enduring hardship and public humiliation caused by the other person.
So I'm sorry that I've grown, and that you can't leave me alone
Apology for personal growth and the ability to overcome negativity.
Because I dodged all of the stones that you threw at me
Pride in avoiding the negative impact of criticism.
You love to hate me when you hear i've been doing well
Observation of the other person's dislike for the speaker's success.
Because I didn't let you make my life a living hell
Refusal to let the other person create a miserable existence for the speaker.
We all know that it's not my fault, we all know people like to talk
Recognition that external factors and gossip are not the speaker's fault.
And you love talking about me
Awareness of the other person's tendency to gossip about the speaker.
I know you're gonna tell your family that i've changed
Anticipation of the other person spreading negative narratives to their family.
You'll run around and paint me out to be deranged
Expectation that the other person will portray the speaker negatively to others.
I don't know why you wanna fight, i've already seen the light
Confusion about the other person's desire for conflict despite personal growth.
And now the future's looking awful bright for me
An optimistic outlook on the future despite past challenges.
Nothing stays the same, change is a thing we should embrace
Reiteration of the positive nature of change.
A change is coming for you, I can see it on your face
Confirmation of the impending change for the other person.
It's so strange, this wild world that we live in
Reflection on the unpredictable and strange nature of the world.
Don't fight change, cause you know that you'll never win
Advice not to resist change due to its inevitability.
Nothing stays the same, change is a thing we should embrace
Reiteration that change is a positive and essential part of life.
Nothing stays the same, change is a thing we should embrace
Reaffirmation that change is something to be embraced.
A change is coming for you, I can see it on your face
Confirmation of the forthcoming change for the other person.
It's so strange, this wild world that we live in
Reflection on the strange and unpredictable nature of the world.
Don't fight change, cause you know that you'll never win (You'll never win)
Advice not to resist change as it is an unwinnable battle.
Nothing stays the same, change is a thing we should embrace
Final reiteration that change is a positive and necessary aspect of life.
